Apps On Demand

App on Demand

Apps on Demand​ service was launched at Deakin in 2016. This service enables Deakin’s staff and students to run full desktop applications from wherever they are. App on Demand allows access to the software on any internet-connected device, on or off-campus.

There are more than 70 apps available (you may not be able to access them all as some are dependant). If you can’t find the software you need access to, contact your school to request an additional license, so that it can be made available in Apps on Demand.

Apps on Demand also lets user access the files located in Deakin storage from a remote location. Copying a file is simple too as Apps on Demand recognises the document folders on your personal computer, including any USB memory stick or external hard drive connected to it.

Step 1: Open the ‘File Explorer’ application.

Step 2: The application will open in a new window using Citrix Receiver. You can now access, drag/drop or copy/paste the file you want to transfer.

Note: File Explorer application will appear as a PC file explorer menu, even if you are using a Apple Mac, smartphone or tablet mobile device.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which Deakin University stands and we pay our respect.
